Overview
Role Description/Criteria About us Since 2012, we have led the way in radically inclusive education by providing a secure, inclusive, and flexible learning environment for young people who have experienced barriers to accessing mainstream education.

Our campuses offer tailored programs that integrate wellbeing and education, ensuring individualised support so students thrive. We work closely with families, community organisations, and support services to provide wraparound support that addresses educational and personal development needs.

Our staff provide a safe, respectful, and empowering learning environment where young people develop confidence, reconnect with education, and work toward their goals.
